How It Works

Throughout the summer, participants can earn tickets by participating in library activities. These tickets can be entered into drawings for prizes or used to “purchase” smaller prizes.

Ways to earn tickets:

  • Read every day (1 ticket/week)
  • Attend a program or storytime (1x program)
  • Complete the weekly scavenger hunt (1x week)
  • Share a dinosaur fact at the desk (1x week)

Weekly prize drawings will be Fridays at 4pm.
Turn in your reading log at the end of the summer (turn in by July 27) to be entered into a drawing for even more prizes!
